Stardom is just an uneasy seat on top of a tricky toboggan. Being a star is merely perching at the head of the downgrade. A competent featured player can last a lifetime. A star, a year or two. There's all that agony of finding suitable stories, keeping in character, maintaining illusion. — Fredric March

It was a myth you couldn't function on opiates: shooting up was one thing but for someone like me-jumping at pigeons beating from the sidewalk, afflicted with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder practically to the point of spasticity and cerebral palsy-pills were the key to being not only competent, but high-functioning. — Donna Tartt
![Being Competent Quotes By Ivan Illich Being Competent Quotes By Ivan Illich](https://quotessayings.net/pics/being-competent-quote-by-ivan-illich-944575.jpg)
Latin America can no longer tolerate being a haven for United States liberals who cannot make their point at home, an outlet for apostles too "apostolic" to find their vocation as competent professionals within their own community. The hardware salesman threatens to dump second-rate imitations of parishes, schools and catechisms
out-moded even in the United States
all around the continent. The traveling escapist threatens further to confuse a foreign world with his superficial protests, which are not viable even at home. — Ivan Illich
![Being Competent Quotes By Kenny Smith Being Competent Quotes By Kenny Smith](https://quotessayings.net/pics/being-competent-quote-by-kenny-smith-811271.jpg)
How infinitely happier and more grateful is the whole personality or spirit when it finds something nourishing in art or writing or thinking, than the mere mind or intellect is: the kinship you celebrate in these personalities is your own dismembered Orpheus stumbling across another fine organ to rejoin to itself. I put it this way: aristic psyche loves itself enough to chasten itself, to put itself through boot camp for the sake of being competent for life, alive to life. — Kenny Smith

![Being Competent Quotes By Mark Twain Being Competent Quotes By Mark Twain](https://quotessayings.net/pics/being-competent-quote-by-mark-twain-1847633.jpg)
Satan laughed his unkind laugh to a finish; then he said: It is a remarkable progress. In five or six thousand years five or six high civilizations have risen, flourished, commanded the wonder of the world, then faded out and disappeared; and not one of them except the latest ever invented any sweeping and adequate way to kill people. They all did their best
to kill being the chiefest ambition of the human race and the earliest incident in its history
but only the Christian civilization has scored a triumph to be proud of. Two or three centuries from now it will be recognized that all the competent killers are Christians; then the pagan world will go to school to the Christian
not to acquire his religion, but his guns. The Turk and the Chinaman will buy those to kill missionaries and converts with. — Mark Twain

Chronically awkward people can feel like everyone else received a secret instruction manual at birth titled "How to be Socially Competent." For the awkward person, this dreamy manual would provide easy-to-understand, step-by-step instructions on how to gracefully navigate social life, avoid embarrassing faux pas, and rid oneself of the persistent anxiety that comes with being awkward. — Ty Tashiro
![Being Competent Quotes By Lindy West Being Competent Quotes By Lindy West](https://quotessayings.net/pics/being-competent-quote-by-lindy-west-873809.jpg)
We can mention periods obliquely, of course, when we want to delegitimize women's real concerns, dismiss their more inconvenient emotions, and perpetuate the myth that having outie junk instead of innie junk (and a male gender identity) makes a person an innately more rational and competent human being. — Lindy West
![Being Competent Quotes By Lamar Alexander Being Competent Quotes By Lamar Alexander](https://quotessayings.net/pics/being-competent-quote-by-lamar-alexander-2004331.jpg)
I remember when President Bush, George W. Bush, came into office, he focused on No Child Left Behind, and with - and before very long, suddenly, Republicans were thought of as being as interested and as competent in education as Democrats, and why? Because they were talking about it and doing something about it. — Lamar Alexander
![Being Competent Quotes By Lord Acton Being Competent Quotes By Lord Acton](https://quotessayings.net/pics/being-competent-quote-by-lord-acton-1174185.jpg)
The State is competent to assign duties and draw the line between good and evil only in its immediate sphere. Beyond the limits of things necessary for its well-being, it can only give indirect help to fight the battle of life by promoting the influences which prevail against temptation
religion, education, and the distribution of wealth. — Lord Acton

While the President leads his potential adversaries in almost every state, his support is soft. He is seen as honest, sincere, just, and friendly but gets mediocre or relatively poor ratings being competent strong, intelligent, and a forceful leader. — Robert Teeter
![Being Competent Quotes By Jacques Barzun Being Competent Quotes By Jacques Barzun](https://quotessayings.net/pics/being-competent-quote-by-jacques-barzun-1337264.jpg)
In fact any good mind properly taught can think like Euclid and like Walt Whitman. The Renaissance, as we saw, was full of such minds, equally competent as poet and as engineers. The modern notion of "the two cultures," incompatible under one skull, comes solely from the proliferation of specialties in science; but these also divide scientists into groups that do not understand one another, the cause being the sheer mass of detail and the diverse terminologies. In essence the human mind remains one, not 2 or 60 different organs. — Jacques Barzun
![Being Competent Quotes By Thomas Jefferson Being Competent Quotes By Thomas Jefferson](https://quotessayings.net/pics/being-competent-quote-by-thomas-jefferson-1352927.jpg)
We have no paupers ... The great mass of our [United States] population is of laborers; our rich, who can live without labor, either manual or professional, being few, and of moderate wealth. Most of the laboring class possess property, cultivate their own lands, have families, and from the demand for their labor are enabled to exact from the rich and the competent such prices as enable them to be fed abundantly, clothed above mere decency, to labor moderately and raise their families ... Can any condition of society be more desirable than this? — Thomas Jefferson
![Being Competent Quotes By Sheryl Sandberg Being Competent Quotes By Sheryl Sandberg](https://quotessayings.net/pics/being-competent-quote-by-sheryl-sandberg-1439701.jpg)
Research over the last forty years has consistently found that in comparison to children with less-involved fathers, children with involved and loving fathers have higher levels of psychological well-being and better cognitive abilities.14 When fathers provide even just routine child care, children have higher levels of educational and economic achievement and lower delinquency rates.15 Their children even tend to be more empathetic and socially competent.16 These findings hold true for children from all socioeconomic backgrounds, whether or not the mother is highly involved. We all need to encourage men to lean in to their families. — Sheryl Sandberg

![Being Competent Quotes By Nickolas Butler Being Competent Quotes By Nickolas Butler](https://quotessayings.net/pics/being-competent-quote-by-nickolas-butler-1517662.jpg)
It's all been worth it. Every fight, all those years of childish experimentation, the occasional heartbreak, the paltry checking account, the used, old trucks. To have lived with another human being, another person, this man, as long as I have, and to see him change and grow. To see him become more decent and more patient, stronger and more competent - to see how he loves our children - how he wrestles with them on the floor and kisses them unabashedly in public. To hear his voice in the evening, reading books to them, or explaining to them what his father was like while he was alive, or what I was like as a girl, a teenager, a young woman. To hear him explain why our part of the world is so special. — Nickolas Butler
![Being Competent Quotes By Peter Higgs Being Competent Quotes By Peter Higgs](https://quotessayings.net/pics/being-competent-quote-by-peter-higgs-1019250.jpg)
The point came when people were doing things I didn't feel competent to do myself. I'm not being modest; I honestly get lost. I was lucky in spotting what I did when I did, but there comes a point where you realise what you're doing is not going to be much good. — Peter Higgs
![Being Competent Quotes By Dan Savage Being Competent Quotes By Dan Savage](https://quotessayings.net/pics/being-competent-quote-by-dan-savage-1566617.jpg)
Parenting is about being competent and responsible. It's not about gender, necessarily. — Dan Savage

![Being Competent Quotes By Katherine Center Being Competent Quotes By Katherine Center](https://quotessayings.net/pics/being-competent-quote-by-katherine-center-2083476.jpg)
I just wanted to be good at this. And competent. And tough. And, ultimately, just: anybody but me. I was tired of being a disaster. I was tired of being a trampled-on flower. I wanted to be awesome. That wasn't too much, was it? — Katherine Center

However, sexual anorexics do have a definite profile that separates them from the larger population of those having difficulty being sexual: They are often extremely competent people who are committed to doing things very well and have a fear of making mistakes and being human. — Patrick J. Carnes

![Being Competent Quotes By Bobby Knight Being Competent Quotes By Bobby Knight](https://quotessayings.net/pics/being-competent-quote-by-bobby-knight-2235086.jpg)
Pat has been instrumental in what we've done here so far and the most selfish thing for me is that I want to see what we've done placed in the hands of the most competent person, and that's Pat. No one would come close to being able to continue to build on what we've done here so far like he will. — Bobby Knight
![Being Competent Quotes By Lindsey Stirling Being Competent Quotes By Lindsey Stirling](https://quotessayings.net/pics/being-competent-quote-by-lindsey-stirling-2239510.jpg)
I don't claim to be the best musician. If being the best means I earn the right to look down on people and critique their accomplishments in defense of my own, I don't ever want to be. People can say what they want about my music being 'banal' and my skill level 'competent,' and it will hurt my feelings (because despite what some believe, I do still have them), but I won't let it determine my self-worth. — Lindsey Stirling
![Being Competent Quotes By N.K. Jemisin Being Competent Quotes By N.K. Jemisin](https://quotessayings.net/pics/being-competent-quote-by-n-k-jemisin-628748.jpg)

![Being Competent Quotes By Niccolo Machiavelli Being Competent Quotes By Niccolo Machiavelli](https://quotessayings.net/pics/being-competent-quote-by-niccolo-machiavelli-90480.jpg)
You know better than I that in a Republic talent is always suspect. A man attains an elevated position only when his mediocrity prevents him from being a threat to others. And for this reason a democracy is never governed by the most competent, but rather by those whose insignificance will not jeopardize anyone else's self-esteem. — Niccolo Machiavelli
![Being Competent Quotes By Christopher McDougall Being Competent Quotes By Christopher McDougall](https://quotessayings.net/pics/being-competent-quote-by-christopher-mcdougall-116337.jpg)
The art of the hero wasn't about being brave; it was about being so competent that bravery wasn't an issue. You — Christopher McDougall

![Being Competent Quotes By Michael Spence Being Competent Quotes By Michael Spence](https://quotessayings.net/pics/being-competent-quote-by-michael-spence-226499.jpg)
My father once said about being a parent that it is the only thing you do that requires a very long period of learning, and at about the time that you are becoming competent, you don't need the skills anymore. Notwithstanding this modest assessment of their parenting skills, they were wonderful parents. — Michael Spence

a radiant, happy, friendly, accessible, and totally competent being
before ordinary people, we have gone wrong — Dallas Willard

The upshot of all this is that we become competent, which is the most important quality to have if you're an astronaut - or, frankly, anyone, anywhere, who is striving to succeed at anything at all. Competence means keeping your head in a crisis, sticking with a task even when it seems hopeless, and improvising good solutions to tough problems when every second counts. It encompasses ingenuity, determination and being prepared for anything. — Chris Hadfield

A MANTRA FOR HOME HEALTH CARE I am my own healer. I have a radiant voice within that guides me. I can make decisions for myself. I can rely on others as needed, but at my discretion. It is my body, my health, my balance, and my responsibility to make right choices for myself. Right choices include working with competent health-care professionals when necessary, allowing friends and family to help as needed, and, above all, being true to my beliefs, with the wisdom and willingness to change as part of the path of healing. — Rosemary Gladstar

By the rules of evidence in this trial the verdict is foreordained. If the testimony ... is admitted as competent, the conspiracy is proved. Because it would not be admitted except under the assumption that a conspiracy existed ... Here ... a defendant can be found guilty of being brought to court as a defendant. — E.L. Doctorow
![Being Competent Quotes By Steven Pinker Being Competent Quotes By Steven Pinker](https://quotessayings.net/pics/being-competent-quote-by-steven-pinker-79284.jpg)
The guiding metaphor of classic style is seeing the world. The writer can see something that the reader has not yet noticed, and he orients the reader's gaze so that she can see it for herself. The purpose of writing is presentation, and its motive is disinterested truth. It succeeds when it aligns language with the truth, the proof of success being clarity and simplicity. The truth can be known, and is not the same as the language that reveals it; prose is a window onto the world. The writer knows the truth before putting it into words; he is not using the occasion of writing to sort out what he thinks. Nor does the writer of classic prose have to argue for the truth; he just needs to present it. That is because the reader is competent and can recognize the truth when she sees it, as long as she is given an unobstructed view. The writer and the reader are equals, and the process of directing the reader's gaze takes the form of a conversation. — Steven Pinker
![Being Competent Quotes By John Taylor Gatto Being Competent Quotes By John Taylor Gatto](https://quotessayings.net/pics/being-competent-quote-by-john-taylor-gatto-1179237.jpg)
We could encourage the best qualities of youthfulness - curiosity, adventure, resilience, the capacity for surprising insight simply by being more flexible about time, texts, and tests, by introducing kids into truly competent adults, and by giving each student what autonomy he or she needs in order to take a risk every now and then. But we don't do that. — John Taylor Gatto
![Being Competent Quotes By Thomas Paine Being Competent Quotes By Thomas Paine](https://quotessayings.net/pics/being-competent-quote-by-thomas-paine-1266102.jpg)
Natural rights are those which appertain to man in right of his existence. Of this kind are all the intellectual rights, or rights of the mind, and also all those rights of acting as an individual for his own comfort and happiness, which are not injurious to the natural rights of others. Civil rights are those which appertain to man in right of his being a member of society. Every civil right has for its foundation some natural right pre-existing in the individual, but to the enjoyment of which his individual power is not, in all cases, sufficiently competent. Of this kind are all those which relate to security and protection. — Thomas Paine
